Choose a Hospital
Dubai has a fantastic variety of government and private hospital facilities that will be welcoming to patients of all types of requests. Ensure you discuss what is covered with your health care insurance, although government hospitals are relatively known to be more cheaper than doesn’t mean it will be to the comfort of your choosing. And any woman that has already gone through pregnancy will tell you that your comfort on the day is important to determine a smooth birth.

Just Relax and Enjoy the Experience
At the end of the day, there is only so much you can do and prepare, the baby is fully in control when it’s ready to come out there is no time for what you’ve planned, the important thing is getting the baby out safely and healthy. Although being pregnant wont be easy, the important thing is to stay happy and relaxed. Bring your friends over for a movie night and bring as much ice cream as you want. Take time out to pamper and enjoy some alone time, turn on a fragrant candle lit bath and play some soothing music. This might be the only time you can benefit from buying a bell and making your partner run around errands for you.
